Alvaro Bautista has one hand on a♏nother world Superbike trophy after claiming pole in Jerez - his fourth of the season.

There was virtually no ru💦nning in FP1 due to the weather so Ra🍸zgatlioglu had begun the weekend ahead - on top with his FP2 time as Bautista slipped off in the same session.

Come Superpole it was a different story with the Aruba Ducati rider putitng down a statement of intent. Having alre💖ady topped FP3 earlier on Saturday morning Bautista picked up where he left off, leaping up into the top spot once out on track, avoiding the damp spots on his qual𝕴ifying tyres for a best of 1m 38.635s.

It was Domin🔯ique Aegerter who came closest to besting the Spaniard. His final run for GYTR GRT Yamaha took him to second, 0.210s behind Bautista, with the two riders behind the 2022 Supersport and MotoE champion incredibly close on times.

Alex ♈Lowes popped up into second late on, improving from 14th for Kawasaki, beofre being shuffled back a spot.

Six time champion Jonathan Rea was one of a trio of riders who left for their final flying laps early, to avoid any yel💖low flag incidents, along with Scott Redding and Tito Rabat.

In good form, Rea gestured to invite Redding to follow. In pr🥃ovisional pole at the time, the Kawasaki rider improved his time to remain on top, taking Redding to third behind, but they perhaps went too soon as a flurry of better laps were incoming.
